Well, we are moving into July, which is always a challenging month on the farm! Crops shifting towards more summer veg, but ALSO, the weeds are growing fast. And we are planting already for the fall. Yes, the fall broccoli and cauliflower has already germinated! And the ground is being prepared in between rains. We are grateful for the rain. On the way home last Saturday we came through some flooded out areas near the farm. It was a crazy downpour, but fortunately we got a more normal amount back home. So we just keep on trucking as nature allows us.

About the farm
We are a seventh generation family farm, raising certified organic vegetables for CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and Farmers Markets. We also raise pastured chicken, 100% grassfed beef and offer pastured pork. We raise food with the intention of taking care of the land: growing healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy animals, and healthy people. Since we are a seventh generation family farm, caring for the land and soil for our children and the next seven generations is at the forefront of our farming practices. We nourish the soil with compost from our farm, and other natural ways to bring nutrients and minerals back to the land to improve the health of the soil, land and crops. We work to maintain a balanced, healthy soil to help grow healthy plants and food. We see our farm as part of a larger community-- a network of people who are interdependent with each other. We grow healthy food for our family, friends and community.
